Christian Robinson’s OUT OF THIS WORLD Author Visit

Posted on March 8, 2019 by englandlibrary

We were beyond thrilled to welcome Caldecott and Coretta Scott King honoree Christian Robinson to England Elementary, on the *very first* morning of his book tour for his eagerly anticipated debut as author-illustrator with his wordless picture book, Another.

Ms. Holcek’s second graders proudly introduced Mr. Robinson, sharing with the audience details about his books, helping welcome him to our school and kicking off his presentation.

Our kindergarten, first and second grade students (and teachers!) were enthralled with his presentation, and we all enjoyed “telling” the story of Another from our perspectives as he shared it with us during a special wordless group read-aloud.

We’re still buzzing & starstruck over welcoming Author/Illustrator Christian Robinson to @ElsaEngRRISD on Monday, as he shared about his *brand new* book, Another (which is AMAZING – buy it today)! Thanks to @BookPeople for the incredible opportunity! 🤩🎉📚🌎 #LibrariesRRock pic.twitter.com/6gQ47kh0my
